      I remember the first time you shot the builders behind the bikes, with the bikes out of focus, and it absolutely made me pause and think “damn! I’ve never seen that!”
      And of course everyone copied it immediately!

    That was tight. Tips from the master.
    Side note, was visiting Portland last weekend (from California), my Girlfriend and I are eating alone in a completely empty Vietnamese noodle place on Saturday. She says to me, "Don't you follow a bike UA-camr who lives in Portland?" Less than 15 seconds later, Ellie (DK's wife) walks in and sits down at a table. I'm like... how is that even possible? We didn't bother her but just whispered about how unlikely that was amongst ourselves throughout the rest of lunch. Small world.

    I remember meeting John briefly at Golden Saddle many years ago. I had bought a used custom frame off of eBay and needed something from the shop. He immediately noticed a bunch of details about the frame that I hadn't even noticed. That he brings this level of detail to his bike photography makes total sense. Cool video!

    I’ve been following his work since the Brooklyn fixed gear Prolly days, but to say he is “single-handedly responsible for setting the standard of bicycle photography to this day” is really disrespectful to all the other working photographers in the bike industry. I really admire that John focuses his work around small builders and the cottage cycling industry, but I swear some people act like the dude invented the 70-200 lens lol.
